Robot Chicken Season 4

If you're a child of the 70's or the 80's, than you're probably not a stickler for political correctness and if you're a fanboy or girl who adores pop culture, than you've definitely come to the right place.

Co-created by Seth Green and Matthew Senriech Robot Chicken takes the piss out of a variety of memorable TV shows, movies and characters from the Transformers to James Bond. Although the humour is definitely the star billing of Robot Chicken, what makes the skits so damn funny is that they have been meticulously created frame by frame through the use of action figures and toys.

Needless to say, the result is gut wrenchingly funny. Although being a Star Trek geek myself and yes, I'm still angry at Abrams Star Trek "reboot", season 4 of Robot Chicken contains one of the best Star Trek parodies ever, Star Trek II: the Wrath of Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan! (It sounds funnier if you have seen the movie).

Once you have literally wet yourself from laughter, Robot Chicken Season 4 contains a plethora of amusing extras that include the 2008 San Diego Comic-Con International and New York Comic-Con panels which is always great seeing the creators interact with their fans and for aussies, it even includes their media trip to promote Robot Chicken which is even funnier. At times, you can see the twinkle in their eyes at how backward Australia really is.

Lastly, we have a myriad of profiles, outtakes, deleted scenes and the like to nicely round out your Robot Chicken experience. Alfred Hitchcock, Indiana Jones, Freddy Krueger and Satan Claus... Robot Chick will never allow you to look at these characters the same way! Bravo indeed!
